About this movie

As World War II rages overseas, the prestigious Devon prep school holds a summer session for boys trying to graduate before they're drafted. Among the students are two unlikely new roommates: Gene (J. Barton), a quiet, introspective bookworm; and Finny (Toby Moore), a carefree and wildly popular athlete. Charmed by Finny, Gene joins him for a series of exciting escapades. But when Gene's grades decline, he suspects that Finny secretly wants him to fail.

Made to read the book 40yrs. ago in my freshmen year of prep school by a Catholic sister. Loved the story and know I’ll love the movie just as well. I’m very glad she picked that book for the class. Will never forget that story.

I read it in a Satire class in school many years ago and I've never forgotten it. Never saw the movie though
